I have Aspergers Syndrome, and I think that chuckie showed signs of it.

I also read that Tommy was a premature baby. I was born prematurely too.

Isn't 2 years old kinda too young to tell??
I think he's just a shy baby with anxiety issues.
Plus in the spinoff, he seems pretty normal, still nerdy looking, but normal.

I do however suspect that Dil may have something like that.

Two years is not too young to diagnose autism at all. Signs come up as early as 6 months, and doctors specialized in it can definitely diagnose children as young as 18 months. Most autistic children I know were diagnosed around 2 years of age.

Children can be diagnosed with autism as early as 18 months. He would have been at the appropriate age to be diagnosed.

It kind of seemed like Dill had it in All Grown Up.

Why is it assumed now-a-days that every eccentric character has autism?
